I moved my Mac Pro 3,1 and now it won't power on most of the time. When I press the power button I get a faint click internally, the LED in my USB mouse light up and then 3 seconds later there is another internal click and the mouse LED goes out. If I keep trying it at random intervals, it will eventually power up. But if I have to shut down the problem arises again.

I had noticed that it would not restart properly if a software update caused a reboot. I would come home and find it off. This box is used mainly asa time machine and media server.

EDIT: I also just noticed that the port active light on the switch lights up along with the mouse. So USB and ethernet is getting power for a few seconds
